 | Paris Hippo Reviews | 1 - 10 of 11 |  |
With more than 71 restaurants, Hippo is a well-known brand spread all over France.
We have tried the restaurant located in Les Halles and, although it was a Friday night and the restaurant was full, we had a really good time and we enjoyed a very tasteful food.
Here is what we have tried (pictures attached):
Menu HippoDuo - EUR 14.5 (First + Second or Second + Dessert)
Assiette de Mezze (Salade d’aubergines, Tarama, Hounous and Tzadziki) - EUR 9.9

Actually I was expecting sth better.. We ordered a steak with patatoes but it arrived a plate full of patatoes with a small piece of burnt meat.. Also the service was not good enough.. Anyway, my worst experience of Paris..
Whilst waiting for the plates to arrive, I studied some french to communicate well.. Leave a Comment Theme: FrenchPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: 29, rue Berger 75001 Métro : Les Halles

Hippo is a chain restaurant located throughout Paris. I would compare this restaurant to an Applebee's, TGI's or equivalent here in the US (East coast).
The food is fairly good, with decent prices and a nice atmosphere. If you are looking for something familiar, this is the place.
We stopped here for lunch after exploring and shopping in Paris. My friend Badridine thought I wanted something familiar and recommended this place.
It isn't a place you would want to go out of your way to dine, and it isn't a typical Paris eatery, but if you are looking for something to eat that is reasonable price wise, that serves familiar food, then this is your place.
I had the steak dinner with french fries and a glass of red wine. Leave a Comment

Mostly hamburgers, steaks, stuff like that, you get to choose two side dishes (or maybe one, memory is fuzzy), and then you can order seconds and thirds of the side dish for free if you want, so if you are with someone, each should order a different side and then when you finish you can ask for more. They have an ice cream with strawberries on top that is divine. I like this place, the prices are good and you get a good meal and no surprises, the service was very friendly and helpful, even though I am American :-)
Update from last time I was there: The last time I was there, the service was not as nice and the restaurant was really hot, as the sun stays out late in the summer. All I can do is to suggest going in the spring/fall/winter or later at night when the sun won't be coming through the window. I also think that it got more expensive. Inflation in Europe, all of the chain restaurants seem more expensive than I remembered.
They have a veggie burger which is ok, not great and not bad, but that was the only vegetarian thing on the menu. I came back a few times, so I have no complaints Leave a Comment Theme: Kosher/HalalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: At Opera subway, 1, boulevard des CapucinesDirections: At Opera subway, turn left when you get off and walk up that street until you see it. I think it was in the first block there. You will also pass a Tex-Max place that is great. Address: 1, boulevard des CapucinesWebsite: http://www.hippopotamus.fr/restaurants/detail.asp?restaurant=101

Brioche façon pain perdu
34,50 F - 5,26
Attention risque de forte dépendance ! Une belle tranche de brioche moelleuse, imprégnée à coeur d'un mélange d'oeuf, lait et vanille, grillée, puis nappée d'une sauce caramel irrésistible. Servie tiède avec une boule vanille, vous allez fondre immédiatement. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This was where we first ate while in Paris because it was only place we found open at 4pm.
There was set menu options which sadly didn't include a creme brulee as a desert, but was good value as it was the same price as just a main course.
The kids got chips and nuggets in a basket that was twice the amount I'd ever seen served before, but were then given smarties ice creams for desert not chocolate as ordered.
My desert of what I thought was apple pie turned out to be apple chunks with a ball of ice cream ontop with pie crust pieces inside the ice cream.
The staff were friendly and spoke enough English to put us right with what choice comes with what.
I enjoyed it and thought it very good value and I'm suprised at how American it appeared.
Around 15 euros for two course option per adult, I think maybe around 8 euros for the childrens two course set menu.
Four meals ( 2 adult & 2 children) plus drinks came to less than 55 euros.

Being part of a reasonable chain of restaurants, the service is normalized, following the standards chosen by the chain. Good meat, grilled in a few different combinations, well served, at a regular price. OK! Not remarkable, but a positive impression. Leave a Comment
